CPTSD and Isolation

Anna Runkle 9/26/194:36 PM

In this article and the next several articles (and the corresponding videos) I'll be talking about one of the biggest, most common adult symptoms of childhood trauma, and that’s ISOLATION. In the three years I’ve been writing about Complex PTSD and Childhood PTSD, I've received thousands of YouTube/Facebook comments and messages from people who tell me how much they’re suffering with loneliness, isolation and feeling cut off from people in their lives.

It's not just people with trauma. Lots of people are isolated. But for those of us with a rough childhood, it can be extra strong, extra limiting and very hard to reconnect. And I want to talk about why that happens, and how to start healing it. READ MORE HERE

I found myself reflecting on incidents of 'Solitary Confinement' I'd experienced in elementary school, and witnessed others experiencing in 'intermediate school'.....and later in life.... I appreciate that the article also addresses 'the Healing Process'.
